A crush on the popular boy at school sounds tough enough... Gorgeous, charming, and captain of Maxwell High's soccer team, Valentino Rosas is every girl's dream. And Inaya Muhammad, despite being head-over-heels in love with him, knows she can't do much about her feelings---as a Muslim, she can't have a relationship. So when Inaya's life as Maxwell High's next valedictorian completely changes, it isn't because of an arranged marriage; she doesn't take off her hijab, become internet famous, or anything like that. No---it all starts with a harmless catfishing scheme in the video game CrusadEon Online. Playing under her friend's profile, Inaya thinks she's snagged Valentino without breaking any rules. But with the unraveling of her family's secrets and uncovering Valentino's, Inaya's life offline starts to blur with her online persona. Can Inaya confess the truth about the redheaded warrior Valentino plays alongside before it's too late? Or is she doomed to lose his heart---and her own? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MUSLIM TO RELATE TO THIS BOOK!
